Why the hell does Angelina Jolie always dress like she’s at a funeral?

Angelina Jolie attends screening of her new film “In the Land of Blood and Honey” at the Foreign Commonwealth Office in London. Angelina Jolie wore a L’Agence long sleeve wrap dress from the Fall/Winter 2012 Collection.

Jeez, we realize her movie’s not exactly a romp, but this outfit doesn’t say “Thank you for coming to see my movie” so much as it says “I’m so sorry for your loss.” It doesn’t help that she’s relatively jewelry-free (this thing is screaming for a necklace) or that the dress looks to be at least a size too large for her. You can take a simple dress like this and make it chic and attention-getting with the right choices, but there’s a reason we coined the term “pulling a Jolie.” Girl just doesn’t think she needs to put the effort in.

But we are prepared to be told we’re being too harsh. We’ll laugh impolitely behind our hands while you do so, like bitchy ladies in waiting, but you would expect no less from us.

Yeah. It’s a disconcerting dress choice to wear for this event because it is too big and wrinkled, and also because the cut is so severe, and yet totally boobtastic. It’s a schizo dress made to be accessorized by a Lucrezia Borgia poison ring.

I like it. I think her look is (usually) very effortless and that her features speak such volumes that she really doesn’t need a lot of stuff. This look likes a bit vintage and a bit French chic IMO. I think when she does try too hard it just doesn’t suit her at all as a person….ref: the great right leg disaster of aught 12.

mountainFashionista

I completely agree with your general assessment of her style! However, this dress is too big for her, and too heavy for late May.

http://frockpaperscissors.blogspot.com/ kvlm

It’s just silk, is it not? I do agree it’s a tad on the large size but then most things are on her…she needs a sandwich.

mountainFashionista

I think the fabric is light, but the effect is heavy… if that makes sense…? It’s from a fall/winter collection, which probably influenced my opinion somewhat!

VeryClaire

Out, it doesn’t appear to fit her.

Noshmek Snagtoof

Just because you can some times get away with grabbing your boyfriend’s silk bathrobe, throwing on some pumps, and calling it a day doesn’t mean you should. OUT.

OUT – bathrobes are not public attire.

SouthernGirlRena

That is what I was thinking. To me, it doesn’t say funeral as much as just out of the shower and putting her make-up on.

DaringMiss

If the neckline were a little more snug, I would say she was copying our royal Cathy Cambridge!

Spreecord

I loathe Angelina Jolie with the white-hot intensity of a thousand burning suns, so she gets an OUT from me no matter what she wears.

The fact that bitch is totally biting Cathy Cambridge’s hair is also pissing me off.

makeityourself

That’s how I feel about Gwyneth. The Jolie, however, can do no wrong in my eyes. I will happily declare this an IN because she does not care what you, or I, or the great and powerful TLo think. And I love that about her.

agent_86

After reading all of these, I thought I was the only la Jolie lover (and Gwyneth hater)! I also vote this IN, just because I can.

And now I will go watch Girl, Interrupted for the millionth time and bask in her awesomeness.

bluefish

I wouldn’t be so sure that Jolie doesn’t care what the public thinks of her. I think she tries hard, really hard, much of the time to give an impression of herself that is pure theater. She’s good at that and she needs that armour as the official Most Famous and Beautiful Woman in the World, etc. I admire her in many ways, just as she expects me to, but find that she leaves me cold–on and off the screen. The thing I find most interesting about her is that she’s a pilot.

makeityourself

Loved that Vogue editorial spread of her from a few years ago, particularly the shot Annie Liebowitz took over Angelina’s shoulder while she was piloting her small plane and wearing a white suit.
Sent from Anne’s iPhone, so if there are crazy misspelled words, you will know why.

Jennifer Hofstetter

Top is shaped weird, and her hair looks limp. OUT.

mountainFashionista

I wish I could get my hair to be this limp!

Jessica O’Connell

Too little effort and too little jewelery, and too big of a dress. It looks like she could fit one of her kids in that top with her! Even if I liked her, I would declare this one a definitive OUT. Way to ruin a good dress, Angelina.

Lisa Salmon

You are not being too harsh. At all.

holdmewhileimnaked

maybe she thinks she has to dress dirt-down in order to be taken seriously?

girliecue

That would make make really sad if she did. But you may have hit the mark dead on. I know too many beautiful, sexy women who hide it so they’ll be taken seriously at their jobs.

Fine, but it still needs to fit properly; this dress is one dropped tomato away from the entire salad spilling from the bowl.

Well if I knew I was going to have to spend time with William Hague (the man in the top photo, he was the Conservative party leader for a time), I’d probably dress like I was going to a funeral too. Or fake my own, whichever really.

OUT – She could have at least worn a big hat with a veil, you know?

It’s that whole “please take me seriously..I’m such a professional humanitarian style”only she ended up looking sloppy with a little side boob flashing. OUT.

Melissa Brogan

She has the ability to make the dress work, but she didn’t try at all. And it’s wrinkly. OUT.

merciblahblah

YAAAWWWWWNNNNN…..

marilyn

Maybe she wears black because she is bummed out about having to get married because of her kids. If she actually gets married, I am sure it will be very private and without any notice. I wonder if this will be a shotgun wedding with the gun being pointed at her head. In the meantime, widow’s weeds.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Julie-Chase/731391326 Julie Chase

Out. She’s the most boring dresser in the history of baggy sack dresses.

I need you two to start selling Precious Unborn Fawn t-shirts so I can buy one and wear it with pride. Pretty Please??? Also, La Jolie is totally phoning it in, which is normative I suppose. Mehs all around.

Why not have both? They’d sell like hotcakes (or bagels if you prefer) if you ask me!

girliecue

I like Angelina Jolie, but her incessant refusal to glam it up causes me to weep like… like I was at a funeral. Don’t waste your beauty, missy. It pisses the rest of us off.

SpcilK

Her looks screams, I don’t give a …. It would be nice if a steamer or iron was included within her prep time. Add some make-up, a hairstylist, and accessories and we she becomes glamorous in an instant! (Just say’n)

msftmargarita

Out. The top of the dress is way too big on her.

AlexisPayne

Love her, but this is too big on her, OUT.
I’m thinking she would look good in a lot of the dresses Cathy Cambridge wears.

OUT! The dress is too big and the length is awkward, makes her legs looks extra skinny and old ladyish. A spot more make up wouldn’t hurt either. Angie, why do you keep phoning it in?!

This is insulting. As long as you are milking your celebrity for your causes, you could at least look like a celebrity. Do something with the hair and wear a dress that is not one level above a sheet.

guestela

Out. Looks like something my mother wore decades ago.

HobbitGirl

With people that beautiful, though, I wonder whether it’s a case of “not putting the effort in,” or intentionally toning it down to keep from stunning the world into stupor by the power of their looks.

I think she looks as if she put on a basic black dress. I don’t get the decolletage, though, shaking hands with an MP or something. I’d say IN.

CassieLee22

OUT the thing is falling off of her, also just because

jw_ny

OUT…won’t defend her ’cause I really don’t want to be the object of TLo’s snickering.

It is dull. It’s probably appropriate for the venue since it looks like quite the conservative place (so does he), but gosh is it dull…

OUT. Bad hair, too.

LesYeuxHiboux

That’s a lot of tit for a funeral.

The dress is too big and bathroby, but I really like the idea of it. Hair is pretty, makeup perhaps a little too underdone (though it is daytime and she looks very pretty)…ehhhhhhhhhhhh IN, because I don’t hate her and she doesn’t look bad.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_HREPOWNBVUBRIVPQCF3ST2IKDM Euphory

It’s the whole “I’m a serious director here so damn it take me seriously” dress. The same as Nicole Kidman wearing a fake nose or Charlize Theron gaining weight to play an “ugly” character to be taken as a serious actress.

I find her more interesting when she actually does dress like Morticia (always thought Morticia has great style), like her 99 Oscar dress or the Black Leather Dress. But I guess she’s trying to be low-key now that she wants to be more mainstream/mother/director/humanitarian.

Out. Even if the dress fit well, it would be out. A designer dress by itself is not enough, it needs accessories and styling to make it work.

To be fair, this would be hot and maybe a tad slutty at a funeral–so really spicy for that venue. Still. Out.

Out. Her clothing choices (sorry, I cannot call this “fashion”) are awful most of the time, and this is no exception. The movie may say “blood and honey” but her look says “boredom and despair”.

I vote OUT for this one, too. Two sizes smaller, two inches off the hem, add a simple but bold necklace and it would be staying in her comfort zone but still chic. As is, it just looks unfinished and unplanned.

http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie

It’s OUT. And for some reason, I just can’t stand her.

Wellworn

Out. But I have a hard time being objective with my utter dislike of her. I think she has been campaigning for years to have a mother Teresa image so we can forget what a homewrecker and freak she used to be (not just with the Pitt marriage). It’s so boring. I might like her better if she was still wrecking marriages and wearing vials of blood around her neck. At least she would be interesting. It’s like with the post you did on Kate Winslet, she isn’t her former self, and has turned into something so false. This is her, dressing the part of a “serious humanitarian who doesn’t have time for fashion”. FAKE FAKE FAKE FAKE

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_HREPOWNBVUBRIVPQCF3ST2IKDM Euphory

Well, to be fair, she did do a lot of actual humanitarian work. Whatever the motive, at least she did them, and that is far better than most of her Hollywood colleagues.

As for the “homewrecker” part, Aniston once admitted she and Pitt separated before Pit/Jolie happened, but of course nothing stops all of them, especially Aniston, to milk this whole thing as much as possible. Most Hollywood women have some unsavory romances (cough Vivienne Leigh cough Liz Taylor cough Audrey Hepburn cough most Jennifer Aniston), but their other aspects (their acting, charity work, fashion impact) tend to overshadow.

And what’s wrong with being Goth? To use Goddess Iman’s words, “Goth is an legitimate look!” She never was an American Sweetheart and never pretended to be. She even got more tattoos in recent years…

She always looks like she and John Proctor are going to the Sunday meeting. She just needs the hat with the buckle.

http://twitter.com/#!/Space_Kitty Space Kitty

Out. She looks magnificent in the profile shot, but why she can’t get a dress fitted is beyond me.

lifetime_student

Definitely funereal, but the cleavage puts it into “gold-digger 4th wife, now widow” territory. Sadly, out. Sadly, because her legs scare me and I hate to criticize anyone whose legs are screaming for some protein and a stairmaster.

lrhoff

I think she’s “in” all the way. Some people understand an understated environment (such as England), and it was a good call on her part to go with less glam. She’s a beauty in whatever she wears and has that confidence that makes her outfits virtually always look good.

theblondette

Whaaat?! England is not an understated environment, honey! We LOVE our crazy fashion over here. Now the FCO, that’s a serious destination, so I appreciate dressing respectably, but this outfit is dour.

This chick suffers from a severe case of Serious Actress/Director Syndrome or SADS.

SADS sufferers deliberately eschew the fashion aspects of the entertainment system that made them successful because they believe that people will take them more seriously if they look like they’re suffering in solidarity with the people who actually *are* suffering or struggling.

What they don’t realize is that their “suffering” clothes just makes them look insufferable.

I feel like because of her work and association with global charities she’s only doing the bare minimum these days in terms of her styling–doesn’t want to look as though she’s bathing in gold and rubies while there are causes in developing and war-torn nations she is trying to support and garner attention for. In addition, the fewer times she ends up on a “Best Dressed List” means (perhaps marginally) less unwanted media attention, I would guess. It’s an OUT because I’ve seen her do minimal with WERQ results.

“Why the hell does Angelina Jolie always dress like she’s at a funeral?”

I guess she very desperately wants to be taken seriously. And it’s a battle a celebrity like her, or any celebrity for that matter, can never win unless they quit this whole entertainment business altogether and dive into whatever serious stuff she’s into full time.

OUT. pretty dress. bullshit delivery

Thathoodwink

OUT. It’s too big and blousey on her, and is that a black clutch I spy with my little eye?

Wow, way out.

I’m biased. She’s my fence-jumper. So I think this outfit says, “screw you, I could wear a tent with fuzzy slippers and I’d STILL make you wish you were me.

Idk…she looks chic and well put together as always. Come on its a screening, not a premiere! I say IN! Love my Angie!

She looks awful. Wan, and swimming in that dress. Also, the hair. And the dazed expression + smirk. OUT.

My breasts could have a camp out in that dress with her breasts. And that is not a good thing – except if you are my husband’s imagination.

OUT.

Angelina is Angelina. She’s always been pretentious and full of herself. Her clothing choices reflect that. I don’t dislike her though I think she’s over-praised as an actress. The dress and lack of embellishment are meant to say — I’m gorgeous and also an intellectual. She’s been pulling this number for years now. It’s kind of silly. She’s is indeed one of those two things — much better just to own it for real and cut playing footsies under the table with the second notion. Her film was a bust — maybe that’s the mourning.

She’s so boring and blah that I’d be happy to never see her on the blog again. You guys are as irrationally kind to her as you are “mean” to Reese Witherspoon.

OUT! Plus, she looks extra unhealthy. Stop fucking posing for a minute, bitch. You have a shitload of kids, thake care of yourself fucking “mother Theresa”.

Lovely dress, gorgeous woman and yet the sum of the parts seems lacking. She exudes the personality of a department store mannequin.
